A clay that loses nearly all of its shear strength after being disturbed is called a(n) sensitive clay.

Clay is a material similar to natural earth but fine grain. The meaning of the word clay is "sticky". The slip is a clay in liquid suspension used as a binding agent, as enamel for stoneware and electrical insulators or slip sheets are used in decoration.Clays may be described as sensitive when the undisturbed strength is greater than the disturbed (remoulded) strength, where the remoulded material can behave as a fluid.

Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of the undisturbed shear strength and the disturbed shear strength.Clay soil has a thick and swooping composition. Blackland prairies have a unique characteristic of black and heavy clay soils because of the marine chalks, limestones, and shale that are found in its composition. When soils reach major rivers and tributaries its compositions changes into a more sandy soil

Helga [31]

<h3>There are various reasons for which a person likes traveling. Maybe you like to see new places and explore locations you have never seen before. Maybe you like looking at beautiful landscapes. Alternatively, perhaps you are interested in the culture and traditions a certain nation has. The latter is not as common as the first ones, but it is a legitimate reason to travel across the world. Some people are just curious to see what is like to live in another country. Some nations have a unique way of life, something that you do not see every day. Certain traditions have been kept for hundreds or thousands of years. Those are the ones you want to see. To witness such things, you must know which cultures hold them. Below you will find a list with ten destinations where tradition is put on a pedestal. You will have a lot to learn from the people you find there.</h3>
